Revelation 11:8
Excerpted from: Hamas' October 7 Attack

Now, let's zoom out for a broader view of the modern house of Judah. In the book of Revelation, whose time setting is the Day of the Lord, just before His return, Jerusalem is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified (Revelation 11:8). Often the chief city in a nation embodies the overall characteristics of the whole nation.

Sodom is an easy reference to sexual perversion. Tel Aviv hosts one of the largest annual Pride parades in the world, and it has been voted one of the friendliest cities for the ever-changing alphabet people. Jerusalem has its own Pride parade that boasts upwards of 30,000 people.

But God calls Jerusalem, Sodom and Egypt. Egypt is a symbol for what God's people have been delivered from, and specifically, foreign gods and bondage. This inaugural Buddhist, Earth-worshipping, psychedelic festival was a welcoming in of the very things that God desires to deliver His people from because they are ways of death.

As Revelation points out, Jerusalem was the location of the death of the Messiah. John highlights that for a reason in his prophecy of the end time. Jesus was killed, in part, because He testified that Judaism's works were evil, and because its traditions kept God's people from recognizing and accepting God in the flesh. It won't be until God intervenes that the House of Judah will mourn for the One whom they pierced (Zechariah 12:10).
